Another Magazine: Tom Ford

Here’s something we don’t see everyday on What Emma Did – a blog post for the men! No sexism meant, it’s just I usualy find males don’t often crop up in my typical readership! But for the small percentage of you out there, here’s a snip from Another Magazine featuring Tom Ford providing his ‘5 ways to be a gentleman’ tips. No excuses now for not understanding how to be a gent!

You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.

A gentleman today has to work. People who do not work are so boring and are usually bored. You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

Manners are very important and actually knowing when things are appropriate. I always open doors for women, I carry their coat, I make sure that they’re walking on the inside of the street. Stand up when people arrive at and leave the dinner table.

Don’t be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.

A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.
